How do I clear this up? I had to pay additional taxes for 2021 but the IRS never applied to my account even thought they deposited it and now say I owe more.

I used the Audit Defense and seemed the IRS and accountant had settled on the number. I even passed the EIN of the check.

first I would contact audit defense because they handle it. 

you can also use the IRS website to view a transcript of your 2021 account.

it's important to find out where your cheek was applied so. it might be necessary to call the IRS if it doesn't show up in your 2021 account. For this you'll need a copy of the bank statement where it cleared. it will have identifying characters which an agent will need to track it down. the agent may be able to correct any misapplication
